USE OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSES FOR RAILCAR DESIGN

The analysis of railcar structures is improved by the use of electronic computers. Outlined are specific applications of finite element analyses to total car systems, and stress concentration. Data are presented on modeling, dynamic characteristics, and correlation of results.
